Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of southern Bergen County, Extra Space Storage at 501 Schuyler Ave, Lyndhurst, NJ 07071 offers a secure, well-managed parking and vehicle storage facility. Designed primarily as an expansive, paved surface lot with wide turning aisles and designated vehicle parking spaces, the location caters to both short-term parking for facility visitors and long-term parking solutions for residents, local contractors, and commercial fleets. Because the vehicle parking sections are set outdoors on a level grade, the facility offers unlimited vertical clearance, making it fully capable of accommodating everything from compact passenger vehicles and full-size pickup trucks to high-roof sprinter vans, commercial utility trucks, trailers, boats, and recreational vehicles (RVs).
